Would you care to expand on that? I've never said anything close to "SABRmetrics suck". Statistics are what they are. It's the conclusions drawn from them that can be ridiculous.

Well Bob when Sabremetrics tell me a guy with 3k career hits isn’t a HOF’er, they deserve to mocked and ridiculed and dismissed .

WAR and the Sabermagicians underrated durability and longevity, that is for sure. Gun to my head, I say Brock gets to stay in the HOF.

Also, I love the CFMB meme of "JORR has bad baseball thoughts" as a stand in for any intelligent argument refuting said thoughts.

You have a variety of baseball thoughts. some good, others not so much. Like Abreu > Votto? Right there, that's a bad thought.

The reality is, it(Brocks HOF worthiness) is a lot closer than I think many of you want to admit IMO. The problem is the argument being presented by an insufferable asshole, like Dan Bernstein.

First off, the jury is still out on Palka. He might have a HOF career. He might out of MLB by this time next year.

Jorr didn't say that Abreu > Votto. He used one specific example of where taking a walk could actually be a detriment to his team while benefiting the player's own SABR numbers.

You are having lots of trouble today, Bob. Even more so than usual. Is what I posted an untrue statement in any way, shape, or form?

I know what I'm watching. Unlike certain scouts who think Tim Anderson can play shortstop.

I've never said that Abreu was "better" than Votto. They're different types of players. Abreu is a middle of the order run producer. Votto is a table setter who you have to pay like a middle of the order run producer.

Sabermetrics didnt tell you Brock isnt a Hall of Famer. Dan Bernstein did.

Similar Batters
Tim Raines (863.5) *
Ichiro Suzuki (847.8)
Max Carey (827.1) *
Johnny Damon (819.7)
Kenny Lofton (797.3)
Sam Rice (789.8) *
Rod Carew (789.0) *
Zack Wheat (786.0) *
Willie Davis (783.6)
Vada Pinson (783.4)



Brock only got 79.7% of the vote.

Agreed, an all time great table setter though.

Over 150 fewer plate appearances, Palka has put up nearly identical power numbers and a better OPS than the fancy footworked Tim Anderson.

Great answer. Set yourself up as an "expert", be wrong all the time, and then say no one cares.

I meant no one cares about you. Of course everyone cares about my baseball thoughts.

I've come around on Keyser a bit.

He doesn't proclaim himself to be an expert (except when in comparison to White Sox management) and seems good at knowing what to look for in guys at the high school/college level.

Like MANY a scout and MANY fans, he has his guys and if they don't make it the blame falls on the team.
